Why I Moved to San Francisco

Harry Lindquist, a youngish bureaucrat in a slightly creepy Federal agency, goes in search of a colleague who has broken all rules of physics and time in his disappearance, and in his search finds that he is breaking the same rules. Counselled (and sometimes impeded) by his equally mysterious Great Uncle Bjorn, he soon discovers that his journey has less to do with his colleague and more to do with the nature of his place in the time-space continuum and his dedication to his friends, his own sanity, and the nature of his own ambitions. Funny, imaginative, and vivid, this novella is for anyone interested in history, time travel, and the far corners of mysticism and human identity.
